There's no way out of his situation. No way at all. He's done. Finished.
That is all.

Why he could be Donald D.U. Trump if we can scrape together $364M.

If Pootie was hoping to 'slip below the fold', he failed, I think.

Thats a lot of liquidity.
He has access to plenty of money.

(13,236 posts)Of course, now that the intel is over three years old, it might not be so valuable.
I love that he needs a bond to appeal this case and the E. Jean Carroll case. Is anyone stupid enough to lend him money now? Perhaps Jared will since he has $2 billion from MBS.
Melania needs to start those divorce proceedings or her prenup might be worthless.
Generic Brad
(14,374 posts)He is in a fire sale situation. Everything must go and must go now. He will be offered insultingly low bids which he will reject and later regret.
Then within the next three months he will be sending MAGA birthday greetings through Cameo and stripping on Only Fans.

TwilightZone
(28,836 posts)As I posted in another response, Andrew Weissman said much the same a few minutes ago on MSNBC. He said that this and the Carroll judgments would pretty much wipe out his liquidity and might require selling assets. So, he may have enough to cover, but very little cushion if the Forbes numbers are accurate.

The bigger problem is that this is going to make it incredibly difficult to acquire any other funding.

(28,836 posts)I find little reason to doubt that it's in the ballpark. In addition, many of his NY assets have no debt.
It's actually better for everyone except Trump if it's true. E. Jean Carroll, certainly.

It's inconceivable that Trump wasn't leveraging the presidency for financial gain every single day he was in the White House.
This is a just decision, but it's not the stake through the heart that a criminal conviction with jail time would be.
